The UCI have to make the decision to put in rules into women's cycling that they have in men's cycling: you know, like a minimum budget to run a women's team and that sort of thing so that it becomes more professional.

It's really important for cycling and for women to be on a sporting stage which is in the mainstream and across the board, not just my own sport.

I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles.

I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.

I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

There is no pathway for female GB road cyclists, but at the same time, if you are wanting to be the best in the world, you have to forge your own pathway. It's not that things should be there on a plate for you. You have to work really hard, and that's what I've done, and I didn't let it stop me.

Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.

Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.

Cycling is open to the whole world.
